Voyeur (Kim Carnes album)

Voyeur is a studio album by Kim Carnes, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music).

The album spawned two singles, "Voyeur" and "Does It Make You Remember", which peaked at #29 and #36 on Billboard magazine's pop singles chart, respectively. "Say You Don't Know Me" was released as a promo single in Canada, with no charting effect. In Continental Europe and Scandinavia "Undertow" was released as the follow-up to "Voyeur" and in the UK instead "Take It on the Chin", both of which met with limited success. The track "Looker" was a stylized version of the closing theme from the movie of the same name (Looker, written and directed by Michael Chriton).
